MAINTENANCE

Lamp Information

Use and Replacement of the Lamp

When the Lamp Indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting the time of lamp replacement, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp could cause a malfunction in the projector and in rare instances may even break.

For more detailed information, please refer to "LED Indicator Status & Illustration" on page 24.

Caution

The Lamp and Temp indicators will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn off the power and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up when turning the power on, please contact your dealer.

Lamp Replacement

Caution

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn off the projector and disconnect the power cord before changing the lamp.

To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the lamp.

To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.

To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the lens, do not touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.

This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of this lamp in a proper manner.

Step I. Turn off the projector. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet and the projector.
Step 2. Loosen the screw and remove the lamp cover. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.

Step 3. Loosen the 3 screws. (It is strongly recommended that you use a magnetic-head screwdriver.) Pull the handle to remove the lamp housing. If the screws are not loosened completely, they could injure your fingers. Do not insert your hand into the box after the lamp is removed. If you touch the optical components inside, this could cause color unevenness in projected images.

Step 4. Replace the lamp with a new one. Insert it into the projector, and tighten the screws firmly. Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which may result in malfunction.

Step 5. Re-install the lamp cover and tighten the screw. Do not turn on the power with the lamp cover removed. Whenever the lamp is replaced, reset the total lamp operation time. Do not reset if the lamp is not replaced as this could cause damage.
